Salman Khan’s personal assistant, Jordy Patel, received a warning mail on March 18 on behalf of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s aide, Goldy Bhai alias Goldy Brar, asking whether the actor had seen Bishnoi’s interview which he relayed from jail three days back, stating that the goal of his life was to “kill Salman Khan”. The interview, referred to in the mail, was given by Bishnoi to a television news channel three days earlier. In the said interview, Lawrence called Salman “arrogant like late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala”, and added that Khan’s ego was bigger than the ego of Ravana. He said that the matter will end only after the actor apologises to the Bishnoi community for allegedly killing the blackbuck.
Soon after receiving the complaint about the threat mail, from Salman’s friend, Prashant Gunjalkar, the Bandra (Bombay) police registered an FIR against Bishnoi, Goldy Brar and the sender of the mail, Rohit Garg.
In June 2022, Salman Khan’s writer-dad, Salim Khan, had come across a threat letter on a bench at Bandra Bandstand, in which Bishnoi threatened to kill both, father and son. Jordy told the media that the recent email threat had nothing to do with the earlier threat of 2022.
The cyber team is collecting details of the internet protocol (IP) address and the server to track the person who sent the threat mail. A case under IPC sections 34 (common intention), 120(B) (criminal conspiracy) and 506(2) (criminal intimidation) has been registered against Brar and Bishnoi.
